RangerClay Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I hang out at the A-Way Outdoors forums from time to time. I was checking in to get updates on the MOR subject from Greg Abbas, the host of the show on the MOR Channel. I thought I would share some things that he posted that should be of interest to all. This was posted yesterday. "I just got official word that MOR is done. A-Way is going to move to the Sportman's Channel in 4th Quarter. Hopes are that they will get on a satellite. There is word that another company may purchase MOR and reopen." "Sportsman Channel is not as big as MOR was but Intermedia recently acquired them and they will only grow quickly. Intermedia is very reputable and has much influence. I am confident that the Sportsman Channel www.thesportsmanchannel.com will now get on satellite. All of the producers are scrambling to get on this channel now. Good that we were already in advanced negotiations prior. In Michigan you can now get them on Charter Cable and many others. The Sportsman Channel is 100% hunting and fishing 24-7, no paid programming! I'm willing to grow with them. They have a great concept and they fit our personality of representing the everyday honest to goodness average person out there. " If you are interested you may want to shoot an e-mail to Dish and Direct to request the Sportsmans Channel. Sorry about the size thingys! Maybe Scott can have that fixed.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Greg Abbas is a class act and he was one of the guys I was thinking about when MOR went belly up. Him and Pat Reeves both have great shows going and its a shame their shows are not being seen. Hope they get it on satellite soon. I am not going to Charter, that is for sure!
